My Horse is a game that can be downloaded from an iPad, iPhone, tablet, or Kindle. You can earn gems and coins to buy things, and basically care for a horse by feeding it, cleaning its stall, and grooming it. You can also participate in competitions in this game. This game can also be complicated though, so read on to find out how to play.

Steps

1

Go to My Horse.

Part 1

Starting Off Your Account

1

Expect to be introduced to the game by an electronic man that welcomes you to My Horse. Touch your horse to get its attention (as the man tells you to do).

2

Do everything the man tells you to do. He will introduce you to different things you can do on My Horse.

3

Change your nickname. Go to your profile by clicking the empty circle person image at the top left corner of the screen. Tap where the nickname box is and type in a new nickname. Do the same with your horse name, if you want a different name (the default name when you have just made an account is "Beauty").

4

Add a picture if you'd like.

5

Add/request friends if you'd like as well.

Part 2

Doing Care/Work Tasks

1

Earn enough coins, XP, and energy. You will need these to complete care tasks and work tasks. You can earn these things by playing mini-games (found in the journal the man shows you) when you start off.

2

In the journal, tap the tab with the health and happiness picture or the one with coins in the other picture. The coins are the work tasks, allowing you to earn coins and XP. They cost energy. Care tasks are found via the other picture, and these give you health and happiness; they cost energy and coins.

3

Choose which type of task you want to do. When you start your account off, the only ones available is stable maintenance and riding lessons.

4

Choose which task you want to have your horse have. When you start your account off, the only tasks available will be the first options.

5

Level up or earn gems in order to get new work tasks and care tasks. If you level up, you will automatically earn new tasks. If you have gems, you can buy the new tasks with them.

Part 3

Competitions

1

Buy treats with gems to earn energy in order to do competitions. You can also wait to let your horse rest to get more energy. It's best if you let your horse recharge to 100 energy to save your gems.

2

Go to the journal. Tap the tab that shows a picture of a medal on it.

3

At first, the only series you can compete in is the UK series. Tap that one.

4

Choose the first competition. One you finish more competitions, you will be able to move on to other competitions.

5

Before competing with your horse, it requires training, which also takes up energy. Depending on how many stars you see over each trick, that shows how many times you need to train for that trick. You will need to complete the training half and half or in thirds to fill in one star. The first competition takes only one star.

6

Press the black button when the horse gets exactly into the blue area, for best results. The excellent and good results are okay, but try not to get results in any of the other colors.

7

Press the ready button when all the training is complete and compete to win some medals! You will also win coins and XP this way.

Part 4

Playing Minigames

1

Go to the journal and tap the first tab. You will see some "minigames" (competitions and buying a new horse are not part of this); grooming, feeding, mucking out, and cleaning up the paddock. When you just started your account, the only one available is feeding.

2

Tap a minigame. Use this guide to show you how to play each of the minigames:

Feeding - Choose a recipe that you can afford to buy with your coins. If you look at the top, there will be more tabs with more recipes you can use. Pour in the correct ingredients until it reaches the red point. Drag the bucket to the side to fill in other ingredients. When the mixing picture appears, press it and mix the ingredients together.

Mucking out - Drag dirty straw into the bucket nearly at the top left corner. Don't drag clean straw, or it will lower your score. Depending on how long you take, slowness will also lower your score. Swipe the block of new straw and spread it out for a nice bed for your horse.

Grooming - Touch your dirty horse to remove dirty marks. A checkmark button will appear when you cleaned most of the horse. You can press it to finish, but if you want more coins and XP, clean the horse some more until the checkmark is filled green.

Paddock cleanup - On the side of the screen, when there is a shovel, tap the horse's business. When you see a rake, tap the weeds. Depending on how long you take, the highest score is 6 health, 6 happiness, and 12 XP.

Part 5

Earning Gems

1

Compete in competitions. Later in the game, another generated helper who appears just like the man but is a girl this time, rewards you with gems sometimes when you win first place in a competition.

2

Complete goals that are set for you. Goals are unlocked later in the game where you do a certain event a certain amount of time. For example, "Care task: Muck out 20x". You will earn a gem when you finish everything it tells you to do, like a to-do list.

3

Level up. Earn lots of XP in order to level up. Play minigames, care/work tasks, and compete. Press the XP box to show how much more XP you need to level up to the next level. When you do, you will earn a gem.

4

Watch videos to earn free gems. Go to the minigames tab. You will later unlock the Free Gems. Tap it and it will ask if you want to watch a video to earn a gem. Press okay. All you have to do is watch a commercial and you will earn a gem as the reward.

5

Buy gems with your credit card if you can afford them. This may be the fastest way to get lots of gems.

Part 6

Buying New Horses

1

Earn lots of coins and gems in order to afford the horse. It will take some time, but eventually you will get it.

2

Go to the minigame section. Tap the option to buy a new horse.

3

Swipe to the side to see all the horses, and tap one horse that satisfies you.

4

Tap on the side of the screen the box that says "Buy for [number] gems/coins". Make sure you can afford it.

5

In the notice that asks you to confirm to buy that horse, press Okay. You will get more tasks you can do in care/work tasks. Some tasks will explain that you need a certain amount of horses. Use your certain amount of horses to do these tasks.

6

To switch a horse from stable to paddock, on the side of the screen, tap the button with two horses and a curved arrow. Press the horse you want to check on, and press Done. You will see your horse. Repeat this process to do this with other horses.

Community Q&A

There really isn't a way to make your horse "rest". But, if you close the app and wait for a little while, and then open it again, there may be more energy in the energy bar. I believe energy also recharges slowly while you are playing the game.

Tips

Gems can be hard to get, but the easiest way might be watching the gem videos and leveling up.

Try to level up as much as possible, as there are over 100 levels! Also, anytime you do level up another level, your energy refills immediately, so you can train and compete more easily. Some competitions will soon require 40, 50, or more energy.

If you want to buy a unicorn (available ones are rainbow, pink, purple, black, and white unicorns), you will need to have at least 353 gems, which can be hard to get, but some people actually have over 1,000 gems by buying them with real money.

Take pictures of your horse and share them with your friends!

Send gifts to your friends! This is a nice thing to do, especially if they send a gift to you first. Gifts are coins and even gems. There are three types of gifts; simple gift, silver gift, and gold gift. It still costs gems and coins to even give these gifts.

When you get way far off in the competitions, the blue part gets really thin, so it will be a bit harder as go through competing.
